CB Bill Bentley returns to practice; Lacey still out

Cornerback Bill Bentley returned to the portion of practice open to the media Friday, though he didn’t do much.

Bentley has been out since Sunday’s game in Philadelphia with a shoulder injury. He said Thursday in the locker room that he did not know his status for Monday’s game in Chicago and was just taking it “day-by-day” at this point.

Rookie Jonte Green and the newly resigned Alphonso Smith were handling most of the other cornerback duties opposite Chris Houston.

Safety Louis Delmas (knee, rest) and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch (rest) returned to practice after sitting out Thursday.
